The Great Space Wedding Compromise

My daughter's ideas strange as could be
A moonscape wedding demanded from me
Would Lunar sites open June twenty-three
I checked with NASA; it wasn't to be

What now? said my daughter, awash in tears
Reliving some of her very worst fears
Earthbound doesn't cut it, she pleaded so
I had to think fast, but what did I know

Despair to my left.  Disgrace on my right
I sat there a-thinking, all the long night...
Morning dawned bright, solution's clarity
A space station wedding, so easy to see

Rejoicing's at hand -- let's strike up the band
We blast off tonight, from warm desert sands

A space flight on her wedding night, that zero-gravity could be tricky. Haha!

Ha, ha, ha. More than a little (tricky), no doubt. Her husband might also have an interesting experience, eh?! LOL. Thanks for the uplifting comment! Smiles, Gershon

Ha, ha: Maybe they'd have to rename that star cluster, the Hora Borealis! ~ Cheers, Gershon

If you held it on the moon you'd have plenty of green cheese to serve at the reception. : )
